I went to a college that was funded with money from a nearby casino. Unsurprisingly, the biggest neighboring city has a population of 30,000 people and 10 fully-nude strip clubs for them to attend. Regardless of how expensive the drinks are and how off-putting both the strippers and clientele are (one guy told me he’d…

I just did my taxes last night and felt justified writing off my legitimate business expenses. Stuff like books I bought or taxis I took to and from work events. I'm very proud of how anal I am about saving every receipt. Apparently, a number of rappers such as The Game, Jim Jones, Bizzy Bone,…

Last night, Danielle Staub of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" celebrated her 48th birthday at the plastic surgeon's office Scores strip club in New York City. As Danielle's maybe girlfriend, Lori Michaels, told Radar, "It's her party and she'll strip if she wants to." We haven't heard…

Dude, Zac Efron is whipped. Before a trip to a Flashdancers Gentlemen's Club in New York City, he got his girlfriend's permission. Last night Zac said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that he called Vanessa Hudgens to tell her in advance he'd be hitting the strip club with his "High School Musical"…

I am a recovered vegan. I gave up all animal by-products for four years in high school, so while I've since been converted back to the way of cheese, I do empathize with people who are disciplined enough to keep with it. Case in point, Johnny Diablo, who's been a vegan for 23 years and…

Boing Boing points us to a Metro Times story on Jay Thunderbolt, a six-foot-five, 45-year-old Detroit resident who operates a strip club out of his house. Thunderbolt was left facially disfigured after he was shot in the head by a stranger when he was 11. For much of his life, he…

Iceland has passed a law to shut down all strip clubs, making it illegal for any business to profit from the nudity of its employees. Well, duh. It's cold up there.

In kinda the sweetest gesture ever, in a backwards sort of way, Matt Damon reportedly brought a posse to the New York Hustler Club, including his wife, Luciana Bozán Barroso.

Before I reveal the secret reason men love strip clubs, I'd like to directly address all the "cool" and "open-minded" women out there who insist on accompanying their boyfriends and husbands to jiggle joints: stay home. I appreciate your enlightened attitude towards dude culture, and your bad girl enthusiasm, like when you whoop it u…

Usher is a five-time Grammy-winner, a partial owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and a master of catchy songs and slick -- maybe too slick -- dance moves. My friend Geoff and I watch the video for his new song "Love In This Club" and try to figure out what's going on. Videos can be so…
